I didn’t know what else to do lol (I suck XD) anyways, have fun reading! <3

Nova-Chapter 1

“Ugh!” My sister Olivia says glaring at me. “Can’t you wear something different? No wonder you always get bullied.” I shove my hands in my pockets. “I’m sorry sister...” “Shut up! Don’t call me sister! You’re a disgrace!” The words hit me like a bullet. She turns around and leaves. I stare at the floor. I let the tears trickle down my face as I run to my room, sorry, I mean the attic. I look at my mirror. Do I really look that bad? I look terrible. My face is all red and splotchy. I grab a towel and hurry to the bathroom to clean myself up.

Nova-Chapter 2

It’s time for school. I bury my face in my arms. I’m scared. Today’s my first day in this new school. Nervously, I head to my school. I step inside and look around. Someone bumps into me. I’m sent crashing to the group. I cringe. “Hey! You blocked me!” The girl who tripped me says glaring at me. I keep quiet. “You’re such an idiot!” Silence. “I’m talking to you, you know! Stop ignoring me! What is wrong with you!?” She glares at me again. “Are you going to apologize or what?” A boy comes behind her. “Hey what’s up here?” He says. “Oh! Hi Alan!” The girl says, batting her eyelashes. “This idiot pushed me! And she’s not apologizing! I could have gotten seriously injured!” The boy raises an eyebrow. I think his name is Alan. “Actually,” he insists. “From what I saw, YOU bumped into her and tripped her. Aren’t YOU gong to apologize?” Whoa. “I’m not apologizing to a freak like her.” The girl says angrily. “Hey!” Alan says, raising his voice. “Don’t judge her yet! How do you know she’s a freak?” The girl gives me the evil eye and walks away. “Thanks...” I say. “Sorry for bothering you.” “No problem.” He smiles at me.

Alan-Chapter 3

“I think that girl is new here, I never seen her around before.” My best friend Cole says. He’s been my best friend since we were in our diaper ages. “Here, I’ll be right back.” I say. The girl who I helped a second ago is leaving. I’m going to follow her. She heads to Classroom 6C. I watch as she steps inside. “Oh hi sis.” The girl says to the most popular girls in the school. Sis? Is one of them her sister? Her eyes widen and she clamps her hand over her mouth. “Did I just hear sis?” Madison, one of the popular girls ask. She laughs. “What no!” Olivia, the other girl says. Olivia glares at the girl. She steps closer to her and...slaps her. “Haha! Nice one!” Madison laughs. The girl spins around with tears stream down her face as she runs out of the room. Oh no! She’s going to catch me following her! I run back to Cole and act like nothing happened.

“H-hey A-Alan.” Another snobby and rich girl says walking up to me. “Can I talk to you privately?” I shrug. “Sure.” I follow her to the field of our school. “Sup.” I say. “A-Alan I-I like y-you!” Isabella, the rich girl says. “Sorry I don’t feel the same.” I say. Her eyes widen. She turns around and sprints away.

Nova-Chapter 4

I crash into a wall. Oh never mind, it’s not a wall, it’s a person. Alan. He catches me before I fall. “Hey, are you okay?” He says glancing down at me. I keep my mouth shut. I’m scared I’ll say something stupid if I open it. “So you’re new here, right?” Alan asks. I nod. “If someone’s bullying you, just ignore them.” “You wouldn’t know what to do, if you were me. I’m new and they’re already physically hurting me. Just like my old school.” I say flatly. His eyes widen. “Well,” he starts. “I can be your bodyguard.” Now my eyes widen. “Nah, I don’t think you’re strong enough.” With that, I walk away.

“Hey you!” It’s Olivia. “Did I not warn you to call me ‘sister’ in front of my friends?” “S-sorry! It w-was an accident!” “I don’t care.” Olivia says. “Give me your money.” “But I need it for lunch!” I insist. “I don’t care. GIVE. ME. IT.” She says. I hand my lunch money over. “I hope you die.” Olivia says loudly and walks away.

I sigh and sit down. I have nothing to do. My stomach is killing me. “Hey again.” A boy’s voice says above me. It’s Alan. AGAIN. “What?” I say. He sits down next to me. My stomach growls. “Uh!” I stammer. “T-that wasn’t m-my stomach!” Alan rolls his eyes. “Do you want my chocolate?” “No thanks.” I say. My stomach rumbles again. “Are you sure?” He says. I take the chocolate and shove it in my mouth. “So that means I’m officially your bodyguard!” Alan beams at me. “Fine. You win.”

Alan-Chapter 5

“Oh yeah, Cole’s having a party tomorrow. It’s his birthday.” I say the the girl. “Oh wait. I still don’t know your name.” “It’s Nova.” She replies. “No thanks. I don’t want to come. “Please?” I beg. “No.” Nova says. “Pleeeeeease?” I say again. “No.” She answers. “Pleeeeeeeeeeease??” I say. “Ugh, fine.” Nova says.

The next day...

“Finally, someone didn’t come with a dress.” I say as Nova walks into the room. “So you’re a tomboy?” She shakes her head. “I just don’t like dresses.” “Okay.” I say. “Happy birthday Cole!” Nova says smiling. It’s the first time I’ve seen her smile. It looks cute on her. She should smile more often. “Thanks.” Cole says. “Let’s play games!” I say grabbing Nova’s hand. We walk to the main room. She glances at Olivia. “She’s your sister right?” I ask. Nova’s eyes widen. “How did you know!?” I watch as her eyes get teary. She runs away.

“Olivia.” I say. She comes over to me. “What’s up?” “Nova’s your sister right?” I question. She nods her eyes widening. “And you don’t want people to know?” I say. Olivia shakes her head. “No one will be friends with me if they know that the freak is my sister.” “Well,” I start. “People like you deserve to be punished.” I pause. “If you bully another person, especially her, I’ll tell the whole school, and your parents.” “What?!” She yells. “Ugh!” I walk away to find Nova.

Alan-Chapter 6

Im in Nova’s house right now talking to her mom. Then Nova walks in. She spots me and turns red. “What is he doing here?” “Well,” her mom, Mrs. A says smiling at us. “He’s a good boy and I heard he was your bodyguard.” “He’s just my friend mom.” Nova says. “Perhaps someday you will be more than just friends!” Mrs. A says. Nova’s cheeks blaze as she covers it. “I-I’m going to m-my room.” She turns to leave. “Ah,” Mrs. A says. “Don’t mind her, she’s just a bit shy.” I laugh. “Maybe you can take her for a walk!” Mrs. A suggests. “Good idea.” I say. “I’ll take her for a walk.” “Alrighty! See you later Alan!” She smiles at me so I smile back.

“Nova?” I barge into her room. “Hi Alan.” She says. I pinch her cheek. “We’re going for a walk.” I say. “No thanks.” She says. I roll my eyes. I take her jacket off of her coat rack and wrap it around her. “Let’s go.” “Fine.” Nova says.

Nova-Chapter 7

“I’m going to the bathroom, please excuse me for a second.” Alan informs me. I nod. A girl with light brown hair and blue eyes walks up to me. “Hi!” She says. “Hi.” I say back. “So, I see you’re good friends with Alan.” The girl says. “Oh, my name’s Isabella by the way.” I nod. “Nova. Yeah, Alan’s my bodyguard.” I pause. “You like him right? I’ll let you take him.” “No, no!” Isabella says. She smiles at me. “He seems happier with you.” “Oh okay.” I say. Alan comes back. “What is she doing here?” He asks. “Did she hurt you?” “No!” Isabella says. “And why should I believe you? Nova? Did she hurt you?” He asks me. “No. She’s really nice.” I reply. “Okay I guess.”

Hours later...

“Thanks Alan. I had a great time with you.” I say. “No prob!” He says. “Let me walk you home.” We head to my house. “See you tomorrow!” “See you! Thanks again!” I grin at him. “Hi sweetie!” My mom says, hugging me. “Hi mom.” I glance at Olivia. “Hey mom, what’s wrong with Olivia?” I ask quietly. “Oh honey, I don’t know. She’s not been herself lately, she’s always sad now. She doesn’t want to talk either.” Mom says. “I’ll go check on her.” I say. Olivia heads to her room so I follow her. “Hi Olivia.” “What?” She says staring at the wall. “Are you okay?” I ask. “No.” Olivia replies. “Why?” I ask. She hesitates, but then answers, “Because mom always cares about you, but she never cares about me. It’s like I’m nothing to her.” “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” I say. “I’ve been a terrible sister!” I hug her. She pauses and then hugs me back. “So have I. I’m sorry too.” “It’s okay.” I say. “I’ll always love you as a sister.” “Same here.” Olivia says smiling at me. “I’ll be right back.” I say.

I explain to mom. “Oh my goodness! I’ve been such a terrible mother!” She says. “I will talk to her.” Mom heads into Olivia’s room. I watch as she hugs her and apologizes. "I've been such a horrible mother." Mom says sheepishly. I smile at them and walk away.

The next day...

Nova-Chapter 8

I head out. Today's a Saturday, no school! I grab my jacket and skip out the door. What should I do today? It's a bright sunny cheerful day, I should spend it wisely. Maybe I'll go to the café and buy some cookies.

I head to the café, with is 16 minutes away from my house. I step inside and the aroma of fresh baked goods and flowers fill my nose. Today is a good day. I order 6 cookies, (all for myself) and a coffee. "Thank you! Come again!" the cashier grins at me. "Thank you too!" I say. I guess I'll go out and sit. It's sunny after all, I shouldn't waste this day. I find an empty bench and shove a cookie in my mouth. I look around. Birds are chirping, the scent of fresh autumn leaves is invading the air. (In a good way) And then I see a familiar boy, with bright brown hair. I squint.

It's Alan. And...there's a bunch of girls swarming him, hugging him, asking him for his number and batting their eyelashes. I feel a pang of jealousy, and stare at the floor. I guess Alan is the most popular boy in the school, now probably the world. Why am I jealous? I don't even like him...I think. He spots me. "Nova!" he calls. "Hey!" I stand up and head over to him. "Hi Alan." I say. "What's up?" Alan smiles down at me and pinches my cheek. He always does that. "That hurts, you know." I look at him in the eyes. "Oh sorry. Your cheek is so soft though." I turn red. "Um thanks?" "You're welcome. Now they're the color of fire." Alan laughs. "Wanna come over to my house?" "Sure." I say.

Alan-Chapter 9

"Here, you wait in here, I'll be right back." I say to Nova. "Okay." she says taking a seat on the couch. I head to my room and look through my closet. "Hmm-" "ALAN!! SURPRISE BIG BRO!!" I'm sent crashing to the ground. "Adeline?!" I laugh. "Hey sis! It's been a while, hasn't it?" "I know right?!" my sister Adeline laughs along. "I missed you so much." We get up. I let her kiss me, since it has been so long. "Alan?" I hear. Nova walks into the room.

Nova-Chapter 10

There's a girl. Kissing Alan. I feel tears gather in my eyes. I bite my lip and run out of the room. "NOVA!!" I hear Alan yell. "Come back!" I keep running until I'm hidden behind the couch. I bury my face in my legs and cry. "Nova..." Alan says. He crouches down next to me. "Leave me alone Alan. You could've told me you were dating someone." "I'm not." He says putting an arm around me. "She's my...sister." "You're lying." I say. His so called 'sister' walks into the room. "Hi...I'm Adeline, Alan's sister." she says. Wait...did she just say 'sister?' "See?" Alan says. He puts both his arms around me. "Oh..." I say sheepishly. "I'm sorry." "It's okay." Alan gives me a hug.

5 months later...

Alan-Chapter 11

“Hey Nova!” I say, approaching her. “Hi Alan!” She beams at me. Then she raises an eyebrow. “Why do you always wear a hat now?” “I dunno.” I reply. Nova takes the hat off of my head. She looks at my hair. “Never mind, put it back on.” I laugh and put my hat back on. “Hey, follow me.”

I take her to an area where the sun is visible and there is snowflakes falling down. “This place is pretty.” Nova says smiling. Not as pretty as you, I want to say. “Alan?” She says staring at the floor. “Yeah?” I look at her. “I-I...l-like...” Nova starts. She mumbles the last word ever so quietly. “Sorry, I couldn’t hear you, what do you like?” “Never mind, forget it.” She says. Puzzled, I reply with, “Okay?”

Some weeks later...(sorry I'm lazy)

Nova-Chapter 12

Alan and I started going steady. My first attempt to tell him was a big failure, but my second attempt was a success.

"I'm going out." Alan says. "I'll be back soon." "Okay." I say...It's not even been 2 weeks since we started dating, and he's already ditching me. It's like he doesn't have time for me. Maybe he's just busy. I'll ask him to hang out tomorrow.

The next day...

"I'll be back soon Nova." Alan says. That's it. I'm following him. As soon as he leaves, I follow him out the door.

"Hi Carolyn!" he says to a girl with blond hair and bright blue eyes. "Hey Alan!" she says. "What's up? Where do you want to hang out today?" Alan asks the girl-Carolyn. "Wait." she says. "Did you tell your girlfriend we're going out?" "No." Alan replies. Going out? They're going out? I feel tears run down my face. I grab my sleeve and wipe my eyes. So he's going out with her. I watch as Carolyn gives him a hug.

He's cheating.

Alan-Chapter 13

"Nova?" I say knocking on the door. It's locked. "Go away Alan." I hear. I frown. "Why?" "I'm not in the mood to talk right now. Leave me alone." she replies. "I want to hang out." I say. Pause. "Fine." Nova says annoyed. "I'll fake for you in the living room." I say.

A few minutes later, she appears in the living room. I smile at her. She doesn't smile back. Hmm...what's gotten into her? "Sorry I haven't been able to hang out with you. I've been busy." "It's fine." Nova says staring at the floor. "Where are we going?" "I'll let you decide." I reply. "Can we walk in the park?" she asks. "Sure!" I reply grinning at her.

She grins back.

Nova-Chapter 14

Alan asked me out to hang out today. He takes my hand as we stroll in the park. "So-" he starts. "ICE CREAM!!" I squeal. Alan smiles at me. "You want some?" I nod excitedly. He laughs. "Alright, let's get you some ice cream."

We head over to the ice cream truck. "Nova," Alan says. "Which flavor would you like?" "Cookies and cream!" I say. He pays for the ice cream and hands me one. "Thank you!" I beam at him. "No prob." Alan replies grinning back down at me.

I completely forgot about the Carolyn girl.

Months later...

He started ditching me again. I started to follow him. He was with the Carolyn girl again. Always. When he got home, I asked, "Where have you been?" "I was chillin' with Cole." Alan would reply. I would act casual and say, "Okay I guess."

Alan-Chapter 15

"Wanna go for some food?" I offer. "Sure." Nova says. I take her to her favorite place, 'The Aroma Angel'. "I'll be right back." I say. I meeting Carolyn at the fountain outside. "Okay!" she says happily. I head out to find Carolyn. "So, I'm leaving next week." Carolyn informs me. "Aw, okay." I say. I pull her into a hug. "A-Alan?" I hear. I break apart from Carolyn and turn around. It's Nova. "It's not what it looks like!" I stammer. "THAT'S IT!" Nova screams, tears streaming down her face. "WE'RE OVER!!" I take a step back and clamp my hands over my mouth. "I'M TIRED OF YOUR LIES! I HATE YOU!!" she spins around and runs away.

Nova-Chapter 16

I knew it. I KNEW HE WAS CHEATING ON ME!! I throw myself on my bed and cry into my pillow. How could I be so stupid!?

For days, I didn't come out. There was no point. My phone rings. It's Alan. Ugh. I shove the accept button and say, "What do you want?" "I didn't cheat on you!" He says. "That was my cousin!" "And how am I supposed to believe you? You lied about hanging out with Cole. I followed you idiot." "I can prove it if you want." Alan says. "Sure you can." I snap back. "I'm not kidding." he says quietly. "I'll prove it to you." "Fine, prove it." I say.

Alan-Chapter 17

"Carolyn!" I call. "Yeah cuz?" she says. "Nova's coming over today," I start. "Nova? That one girl?" Carolyn says. I nod. "I need you to prove to her your my cousin." "Mkay" Carolyn replies. "I'll tell her I'm your cousin." "Thanks." I say. "No prob." she says.

Nova-Chapter 18

"He's in his room?" I ask Carolyn. She nods. "I'm his cousin Nova...I'm sorry I broke you two up." I gasp. "COUSIN??!" Carolyn nods again. "SO THIS WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING??" I screech. Third nod. "Omg!" I say shocked. "Can I talk to him?" "Of course, he's in his room." she replies. "Thank you!" I rush into Alan's room. "ALAN!!" I shriek. "IM SO SORRY! THIS WAS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING!!"

Alan-Chapter 19

"Nova!" I exclaim. "It's okay." I pause. "She is my cousin and she's leaving in less than a week. I wanted to spend time with her. I'm sorry I barely thought about you. I'm also sorry I lied..." "Oh." Nova says. "It's fine. Sorry I didn't sort it out and just assumed..." "It's okay." I reply giving her a hopeful smile. "So can we be just friends?" Nova asks.

"Just friends." "S-sure." I say, my voice trembling. "J-just f-friends." Nova grins at me. "Good to know."

My heart breaks.

Alan-Chapter 20

"Good morning boss." My employee Jaxon says. "Good morning Jaxon." I reply smiling at him. "There's a new woman who wants to be hired." he informs me. "Please bring her in." I say. "Yes sir. I'll be right back." Jaxon says walking out the door. He comes back a few moments later with a girl. "My name is Nova Andrews-" she says. Her eyes widen when she sees me. "Alan?" "Nova?" I gape. "OH MY GOODNESS!" Nova throws her arms around me. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!" "Then why didn't you call?" I laugh and accept her hug. "I was afraid you were still mad at me." she replies. "I would never be mad at you." I say. "And, you're hired." "YAY!" Nova hugs me even harder.

2 years later...

I take Nova to the beach. "Wow." Nova says looking around. "The sunset is so pretty here." "I know right?" I say. "I brought you here to ask you something." "Yeah?" she says glancing at me. "Nova," I start peering into her eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend again?" "OMG YES!!" she squeals running into my arms. I laugh. "I love you." "I love you too Alan." Nova says. We watch the sunset.

THE END!!!! Congrats if you made it to the end. ;-; this took me a few days to accomplish but yay i did it! Thanks for reading and I hope your day goes good!
